Blake's POV
I sat in the office with a cup of coffee in my hand. I turned the chair to the glass window. I looked through the bright glass window into the distance. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Noah and Hedwig should have taken a bath and were ready to go to bed. They had school tomorrow. And Catherine must be sitting by their beds, telling bedtime stories with a storybook in her hands. Or perhaps she was humming lullabies. Noah and Hedwig were getting more independent after Catherine's identity was exposed. In the past, Hedwig always felt insecure and would ask Catherine to hold her to sleep every night. Yet now, Noah and Hedwig were used to sleeping on their own beds. I had to admit that kids grow up so fast. However, I felt distressed every time I saw them curling into balls in their beds. I never thought that I would become a father so soon. I didn't even think I'd find my mate. I thoughtBlake's POV "Fine. You got me. You are right. I was waiting for you. I was worried about you!" Catherine said loudly. Her face was already red. I reached out and pinched her cheek. Then I stuffed the file bag into her hand. Catherine was stunned for a second. Then she quickly grabbed the bag. I bent down, picked her up, and walked upstairs. Catherine stretched out her hands and put her arms around my neck. She pressed her cheek against my shoulder like a docile sheep. She had lost a lot of weight after the car accident, which made my heart ache. I could feel she loved me deeply. I was also content to see her, my mate, when I came back late at night. In the bedroom, I gently placed her on the bed and asked softly, "Have you taken a bath? Do you need my help?" Catherine blushed a little and shook her head. "I took a bath already. Go take a shower now." "OK. Just lie down." I gently tucked her in. Catherine hid und
Blake's POV After I arrived at the company, I had several important meetings to attend, and I immediately got busy. When I returned to the office after the first meeting, Dowen knocked on the door and came in. "King Blake, someone sent you a package." I frowned and asked coldly, "What is it?" "I don't know. It's not signed." Dowen looked puzzled. "Give it to me." I rarely get delivery or anything like that. Most of the things were sent to Dowen, who would pass them to me. Dowen placed the package on my desk, and I tore the wrappings. A few photos fell from the package to the desk. I picked them up at once to take a look. It was my father, Marc, and a woman in those photos. At the sight of the woman, my eyes widened in shock. It was the woman Patricia asked me to investigate a while ago. What was the relationship between Olivia and Marc? Patricia wouldn't ask me to investigate her for no reason. I g
Catherine's POV "Catherine?" Blake's voice was deep, and I could tell how tired he was. He didn't hide this languor in front of me, making me feel distressed. "Blake, we have a visitor at home. Patricia said he was Richard's son. Did you know he was coming?" I said bluntly. "Nick came to the villa?" Blake sounded surprised. It seemed that he had no idea. "Yes. He showed up out of nowhere. Was he up to something?" I didn't have any good impression of Richard and his family. So, I wanted to warn Blake about them. "I will be back early today. Don't worry. If he is on to something, I will find out!" Blake comforted me. "Alright then. Go back to your work. I'll leave you to it," I said gently. I raised my hand to look at the watch on my wrist. It was already four o'clock. I wanted to go pick up Noah and Hedwig together with Patricia. When I went downstairs, Patricia was on her way out. "Patricia, I'll go with you." I quickly stepped forward. Patricia turned around and
Catherine's POV "I know you didn't. I'm saying that you are not allowed to look at him ever. Remember?" Blake's lips moved from my cheeks to my lips. I felt a surge of joy enveloping me. I nodded. "I promise. Whatever happens, I won't even glance at him. I swear to the Moon Goddess!" My promise placed Blake in a better mood. Yet I was confused. Why would Blake be jealous of Nick? That didn't make sense. Nick and I had never met before. I didn't expect that Blake would be this willful. I couldn't help but chuckle. "What's so funny?" He gently turned my body to him. I immediately stopped chuckling and said seriously, "Nothing. I just don't think you need to be jealous of Nick." "It's men's stuff. You won't get it. You are mine. I hate it when other men look at you. They are not allowed to look at you, not even a glimpse." Blake kissed me vigorously as if claiming that I only belonged to him. I was a bit speechless. Did Blake have to be this overbearing? However, I did
Catherine's POV Soon, it was early in the morning. Blake would always wake up before seven o'clock. He got up, leaving nothing but an empty space beside me. I muttered dissatisfied. He leaned over and kissed me, and then I went back to sleep. He had the habit of doing morning exercises. I didn't wake up until he came back. I asked him to wake up Noah and Hedwig, and then I slipped into the bathroom. Noah and Hedwig had grown up a bit, and they no longer acted willfully when getting up. Unlike before, now they wouldn't glue themselves to bed and try to lie in a bit longer. Therefore, I trusted Blake with getting them out of bed. By the time I came to the children's room, Blake had already helped them put on their clothes. He was combing Hedwig's hair and tying her hair into a ponytail. Indeed, he had changed a lot. Noah, on the other hand, did not need any help from Blake. Noah dabbed his hands in water and made himself a hairstyle that was identical to Blake's. Loo
Catherine's POV We went to Noah and Hedwig's classroom, and I saw that Noah and Hedwig were both playing games with their friends. "Mommy! Abigail! You are here!" Hedwig saw us and ran over happily. Abigail looked at Hedwig happily. "Hedwig, I'm here to see you." Hedwig grabbed Abigail's hand. "Abigail, this is the first time you've picked me up from school." Abigail's eyes turned red when she heard Hedwig's words. I sighed emotionally. Hedwig seemed naturally close to Abigail. "Abigail, what's wrong? Are you crying?" Hedwig asked with concern. "No. I'm just happy. I'm overjoyed. You and Noah have become this big. I want to be there and witness your change every day from now on. Do you like me?" Abigail said gently. "Of course, I do. I would be so happy if you could pick me up every day. By the way, will you bring some snacks too?" Hedwig felt her stomach. "Hedwig, are you hungry?" Abigail immediately asked.
Catherine's POV "Cathy, did you go to the hospital for a check-up? What did the result say?" The gauze wrapping my head had been taken off. Patricia immediately asked me with concern. "Thanks for asking, Patricia. The doctor said my wound was healing well," I replied softly. "That's good. I'm so relieved to hear that," Patricia said happily. Meanwhile, Nick drove back. He parked the car at the door and entered the parlor. "Catherine, have you just come back as well?" Nick asked with a smile. "Yes," I said expressionlessly. Then I said to Patricia, "Patricia, I'll go upstairs and take a shower. I'll leave Noah and Hedwig with you here." "Alright." Patricia nodded. I turned and went upstairs. Nick shook off the snow on his shoulder and said, "It's snowing again. It's freezing! Patricia, I'm going upstairs to put on another coat." Patricia said, "Why didn't you put on enough clothes? You knew it was cold outside. W
Catherine's POV My heart ached for Blake. I could only hold him tight and be there for him. I thought Blake would tell me more about Marc and the woman in the photos after his grief. To my surprise, I heard Blake's steady breathing coming from my arms. I looked down only to see that he had fallen asleep. He was indeed tired. I kissed him on the forehead and then turned off the light. I turned in as well. That night, I fell asleep with Blake in my arms. In recent days, the pack had been in a bit of a flap, as Blake had personally sent the werewolves who had been by his side for five years to the werewolf court. Almost all the werewolves were keeping an eye on the matter, and Blake was waiting for the result. He would keep me updated on how things were going every night, so I wouldn't worry. The werewolves who leaked classified documents of the pack expressed their strong dissatisfaction in court, insisting that they did not leak any
Third Person's POVRichard said mysteriously, "Just wait and see. Someone will expose it.""Isn't it supposed to be made public?" Nick asked curiously."If it were made public, Emerson might just be so angry that he'd die," Richard glanced in the direction of Emerson.Nick nodded in agreement. "His condition does seem really serious. Dad, are you starting to care about Emerson?""I just don't want him to collapse so soon," a complex expression flickered across Richard's face.Nick let out a cold laugh. "I thought your hatred for him had already faded.""He gave me life, but at the same time, he subjected me to countless blows and torments. I don't even know whether to hate him or respect him," Richard snorted coldly.At that moment, the sound of flattery from the crowd outside the main door could be heard. Nick looked over and saw Blake and Catherine walking in, receiving everyone's congratulations.Since it was an engag
Third Person's POVThe morning sun shone brightly. After a month of continuous winter snow, the city finally welcomed such a sunny day.On this day, the entire city was buzzing with excitement over the Royal Pack's joyous occasion—Blake and Catherine's long-awaited engagement was finally coming to fruition.The news had the city abuzz with anticipation, as everyone eagerly awaited photos or videos from the engagement party, curious to see just how luxurious and dazzling a high-society event could be.In reality, Blake had prepared for the engagement party somewhat hastily. In his eyes, many aspects were far from perfect, but he had done his utmost to make everything as good as it could be.Emerson was particularly delighted and felt a deep sense of relief, knowing that he would witness his grandson's engagement in his lifetime, leaving him with no regrets.Abigail attended Catherine's engagement party, but Halsey was unable to make it
Third Person's POVBlake, too, wished they could keep kissing forever. But he was also worried that he might make it hard for her to breathe.Catherine's pretty face flushed with pink. Blake reluctantly let her go."I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me!" Blake had a knack for easily unsettling her. Just that one word, "wait for me," seemed to encompass all the sweet nothings.Catherine's heart fluttered slightly as she watched his figure disappear into the bathroom. She suddenly felt the bedroom was empty and didn't know what to do next.At that moment, her phone rang, signaling a new message.Catherine walked over and saw that the message was from Harley. She was taken aback for a moment but still picked up her phone to check it."Catherine, congratulations!" The message was simple, yet it was filled with his affection for her.Catherine understood the weight behind those few words and sighed softly.She remembered H
Third Person's POV"Mirabel, I have to ask, these two men, you didn't hire them, did you?" the assistant asked nervously.Mirabel's face froze for a second, and she turned her head to glare at the assistant fiercely. "Don't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with me!"The assistant shrank back, quickly forcing a smile. "Good, I'm glad it's not related. Mirabel, I wonder who Sunny offended this time. It seems like there are quite a few people who want to get back at her."Mirabel narrowed her eyes, clenching her fists in anger. She thought to herself that since Sunny had escaped this time, she wouldn't be so lucky next time.In fact, these two thugs were indeed hired by Mirabel.She had originally planned to grab Sunny, humiliate her thoroughly, and make her feel unclean, so she would be too ashamed to pursue Leo anymore.But now, things had gone beyond her expectations.Sunny had good fighting skills and had fought against t
Third Person's POVA hint of embarrassment flickered across Sunny's face. Although she had courage and fighting skills, these didn't seem like things worth boasting about in front of the man she liked.What if Leo didn't like such a strong woman? Would he be put off by her?"Rest assured, I only fight bad guys. I would never raise a fist to you," Sunny said with a forced laugh.Leo, however, chuckled softly. "If one day I really become too much of a jerk, you'd have every right to teach me a lesson. I wouldn't have a word to say."Sunny just shook her head and remained silent. Of course, she could never bring herself to hit the man she liked."From this video, we can see the faces of those men. Don't worry, I will definitely catch these two jerks and get revenge for you," Leo said in a low voice, his tone firm."I just want to know why they were after me. Did I really offend someone at some point?" Sunny felt a vague sense of unease.
Third Person's POV"Take me to the hospital. I'm in pain." Sunny was at her breaking point, feeling like she was about to pass out from the agony.Without a word, Leo scooped her up into his arms and hurried towards the door."Close the door. I still have a lot of stuff inside." Sunny gritted her teeth and said.Leo, however, ignored her. "What's more important than your life?"Sunny could only watch helplessly as her front door remained wide open and the elevator doors swiftly closed.Leo held her tighter, noticing the cold sweat streaming down her forehead like a small river. It was then that he realized the extent of her suffering."Who did this? Who stabbed you?" Leo finally had a moment to ask her in a calm but forceful tone.Sunny shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize those people."Hearing her words, Leo's face turned ashen, nearly driving him to the brink of madness. She had been attacked by strangers.
Third Person's POVSunny returned home and, after a while of overthinking, decided to go out and buy something to eat.The news of her breakup with Leo had already faded a few days ago. Now, the engagement of Blake and Catherine had taken over the entire internet. The buzz around her had significantly diminished.Sunny put on a mask, went out without makeup, and wore a white woolen coat.She walked along the avenue outside her block, remembering a delicious cupcake shop she had visited before. She hadn't been there in a long time and was craving their food. Maybe her mood had improved, because she felt lighter on her feet, not as burdened as before.After all, Leo had proposed to her, and she was the one who had turned him down.Thinking of this, Sunny let out a quiet breath and felt a fleeting sense of triumph.But such thoughts were short-lived. In the world of love, there are no real winners. As long as one doesn't lose too badly,
Eda's POV"Eda, if only I had met you earlier, I would have always been by your side." Benjamin walked over to me, gently wrapped his arms around me. He held me tightly.I'm a very strong woman. I've hardly ever cried from childhood to now.But at this moment, for some reason, I felt like I needed protection. My heart was as fragile as glass, craving comfort."Yeah, why didn't you show up sooner?" I murmured with a smile, though my voice was a little choked up.Benjamin held me. His tenderness enveloped my heart.The things that scared me were indeed terrifying, but right now, his embrace made me feel safe.He said softly, "Eda, if you're scared, let's not do anything. If you don't want to get married, we'll just keep dating; if you don't want to have kids, we won't have any. I don't want you to face those things that scare you anymore."After hearing his words, I gently pushed him away, blinked my eyes, and asked in disbelief,
Eda's POVI stared at the beautifully designed wedding invitation on my desk. The minimalist yet elegant style exuded a casual and refined vibe.The off-white card was adorned with a light blue ribbon and featured the wedding details of Blake and Catherine in an exquisite font.Blake and Catherine were getting engaged. From the bottom of my heart, I was genuinely happy for them and sent my heartfelt congratulations.They had the courage to step into marriage and continue their sweet love story, which was truly enviable. But at least, I couldn't do it myself.I reached out and touched my still-flat stomach. Besides the occasional waves of nausea, I hardly felt any different. My body seemed to be functioning as usual."Ugh, this is so annoying!" I propped my head up with my hand and fiddled with my bangs, too agitated to focus on work.I felt like I was going through the worst phase of my life."Turns out, enjoying happiness come
